One of the new buildings at WSU has a curve like that, and it focuses the sun onto the adjacent sidewalk every afternoon. It's not as bad as this one sounds, I like to stand in it for fun--but not for very long either.

I find this somewhat humorous. City Center has some of the most amazing architecture around. I was there maybe a month ago, and just wandered around inside, and was amazed, and I am not usually into this sort of thing. And, if you are in Las Vegas, it is worth visiting, IMHO, much more so than most of the attractions there.

Apparently, they spent a significantly higher percentage of the cost in architects, etc. than is usual for casinos, even there, and it appears they may have possibly overlooked something. Time will tell.

And, yes, I would not be surprised if this was being sexed up a bit, due to the profession of the guy involved. After all, that is where he apparently makes his money, suing companies like MGM.

I was hoping that a judge had gotten super powers, maybe from living near nuclear test sites and was now able to make lawyers burst into flames by staring at them. Imagine my disappointment whe...

Judges are that much worse. What you want is some poor schmuck who was done out of every cent he ever made, his house, his business, his car, he lost all his friends, his parents won't talk to him, his kids were taken away, and his wife left him because he did something that "had the appearance of impropriety".

If Pintas sued, he'd raise the homeowner's fee for him and his fellow condo owners. Not a way to make friends among the neighbors.

But an unseen hazard, well known to building managers and owners to the point they gave it a name -- some burnt guest will net a tidy sum. ("You mean you knew all about its effects yet did NOTHING?") They'd best rope off the path of the death ray.
